northwestseeker Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 12:35 am Does anybody know a brand/model of scale which provides very accurate(5-6 decimal places)readings and sturdiness would be preferable. Dont mind if its heavy. and not quite sure whether to get "old fashioned" or digital... Any input helps! THANKS! Report this Post to the Staff

Unless you are planning on spending hundreds of dollars, two decimal places will be the best you can do. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 08:21 am I am wondering why that much accuracy is important as tolerances for coins is not at that level.I'm using a balance type gunpowder scale that measures in one grain increments..cost was about $35 and is easily calibrated.
